can it sliced large slices for scalloped potatoes

The "disk" cutter blade can be set for slices or shredding. So, yes, you can slice potatoes for scalloped potatoes, but you would probably have to trim the potato to fit down the slot that feeds the slicer blade. A whole potato would not fit.

I chop raw potatoes that are about 1/4 inch thick so I would think so if the carrot were sliced in half lengthwise first though I have not tried.

this is the regular size, and there is larger size which is about 20% larger than the regular. You can slice some "large" vegetables, like eggplants, sweet potatoes, yams, cassava, large carrots, plantains, and stuff like this, but depending on the size of the vegetable itself, you might need to trim the sides to fit in the slicer. Mine is the regular size, and I never had problems.

yup. I can put one huge baking potato cut up to small bite sizes and still have room.

The cutting surface is 2.5" wide, so is appropriate for smaller vegetables. I agree that if you are planning to slice large apples, onions, or potatoes, you are safer with the Jumbo version. And do be careful with it. I ended up getting cut-proof Kevlar gloves because I cut myself several times.

Yes, but the slices are too large ... I prefer smaller, so I went back to a chef knife.

Yes it would. I use it to slice turkey, roast beefs, hams, Giant Hero's, basically anything.

Yes ! This knife will give you perfect slices. The narrow blade helps. I've done it.

If the blades are sharp enough. Sweet potatoes are much more dense than russets. I have found sweet potatoes difficult to process on a lesser expensive mandoline.

Not really. The capacity can handle one extra large baking potato sliced up. It takes about 25 minutes to cook. Great for the kiddos!

Not necessarily. I used larger potatoes but I just cut them in half before I put it in there. One thing though, it's gets difficult to use after the first few uses. The blades wore down extremely fast. I just about killed myself trying to put a sweet potato through it.

Yes, I believe so. It did a 6 inch x 4 inch high slice with space to spare.

I use it only to slice apples for pie. Probably a big potato would fit on the points and spiral out nicely. The slicing part clings to the outside of the apple (or potato) and peels away all the outside rind or coat. You can chop up the little core that is removed. How hard is that? Since I got this gadget I make a LOT more pies. L.

I would guess no. The plastic is not very strong and potatoes can be tough and thick. Maybe if you first cut the potato up into small pieces but that kind of defeats the purpose of having the chopper do the work.

I use mine to slice potatoes all the time for augratin. A word of advice put the potato all the way to one side when slicing to prevent the potato from falling sideways into to the blade because you get better slices from top down.

You can find descriptions of what each blade does on the Amazon page for the product. I my opinion, though, one would need to be processing a lot do food to make them worth the money. I only use them when we are having big family parties. The French fry cutter makes the potato pieces a nice size until they are cooked, then they shrink and are more like match sticks. The slicer is nice for even slices of things. Read the reviews, they have a lot of info in them. I am glad I bought them, but don't use them often.
